Today's subjects: "the kookaburra", and "uncontrollable bleeding"

Michael drew this beautiful kookaburra this morning. They are members of the kingfisher family, with a very long and powerful beak.


These are pages from a first aid booklet for staff at GP clinics, which came home from Elf's work as scrap paper. Michael has interpreted the contents in interesting ways. There is a speech balloon with "greeked" text in each drawing. I'm not sure how the glamorous woman relates to "post op problems". I probably need to debrief Michael more fully before I blog these things.

I am trying SO hard to keep up

Today, Prep Blue did "teeth". Michael came home after school and executed this fact-filled A4 sheet of wonderment. Also a fab diagram of a single tooth that we can't find just at the minute. I haven't interviewed him about this at length but I think "M. I. B." might be Molar. Incisor. Biter.

Yesterday Michael asked me "how do I open my mouth?" I said his brain told his jaw muscles to move and that opened his mouth. That might explain the drawing of the man holding possibly an apple, whose brain has just told his mouth to open. He is looking askance at his brain as if to say "WHAT???"

I think I possibly love this drawing most of all.

Where they're at

Marcus: insatiable hunger for algebra.


Michael: can't stop making Mother's Day cards. In this excerpt from one of them, Tasmania turns into an alien, en route to becoming a love heart.

How To Find Hobart From Space

Recent space drawings from Michael. His Earth is so cute - he makes the continents look so cartoony and lovable.





The one above needs a little explanation. Starting top right and moving anti-clockwise, it shows the Milky Way, the Solar System, Earth, Australia (I cut off the A scanning it), Tasmania and Hobart.

Latest from the boys

Above (by Marcus) My name is 2009! My name is 2008 and I'm sobbing.


Above (by Michael) two very complicated solar systems. The second one has instructions for making a model of the expanding universe, by painting white dots on a black balloon then blowing it up. Below (by Michael) a complicated human body.

Boys at work

Michael is continuing his attempts to depict the entire solar system in detail on a single sheet of a4 paper.



We went for as walk to Sphinx Rock on Mt Wellington. Marcus saw a small marsupial with a long nose, and did this drawing on returning home.
